Shoes for Center City Sips

Summer in Philly: Phillies games, al fresco dining, trips to the shore, and Center City Sips! What’s not love about $4 cocktails, $3 wine, $2 beers, and half price appetizers to help get you over hump day? You still have a few more Wednesdays to enjoy it, and when you go, go in style.

For example, you could snack on chicken satay and sip an Aqua Princess at Aqua: Thai one on (ha!) at Aqua in the Giovanna by Gabriella Rocha. These beautiful T-strap sandals have silver studs, a double buckle, and a one-inch wedge under the heel. Whole sizes 5-8 and 8.5; yours for $49 from Zappos.

Maybe a Dark’n’Stormy and jerk wings at Rum Bar:

Get your pirate on with these flats. The skeleton girl on the front is so adorable I can hardly stand it, and look at the crossbones on the outside heel and on the red lining inside! Available in whole sizes 5-8 for $49 from Summit Fashions.

You could be oh-so-classy with a chardonnay and calamari at Union Trust:

  The Lace-Up Shootie by American Eagle is perfect for the beautiful old bank building that houses Union Trust: a brown faux-leather oxford on a stacked 3.5-inch heel. Find them at Payless for $35.

Sweet tea vodka and risotto balls at the Las Vegas Lounge, anyone?

  If you’re a size 7.5, Lady Luck is smiling on you indeed: the Lady Luck Heels are available in your size only! A black double-strap Mary Jane with chips stacked up the heel, card suits, a roulette wheel, slot machine symbols: your feet can’t get any closer to Vegas on the East Coast. Yours for about $84 from Etsy seller Tilted Shoes.

How about a White Russian and spinach artichoke fondue at Max Brenner’s?

  I love how the quilting pattern looks like the squares of a chocolate bar! The Brazen Pump by Naturalizer has a round toe, 2.25-inch heel, and patent leather upper with quilting design and bow. Also available in black, chianti, or gray from Macy’s for $69.

Cheers, Philly girls!
